When working with the Stack Exchange API I noticed that there is important data (at least for what I thought to do) not available, whether the question, answer or comment was edited or not:

{
  "items": [
    {
      "tags": [
        "flutter",
        "dart"
      ],
      "owner": {
        "account_id": 4684815,
        "reputation": 4503,
        "user_id": 3792482,
        "user_type": "registered",
        "accept_rate": 43,
        "profile_image": "https://graph.facebook.com/100000271181489/picture?type=large",
        "display_name": "phongyewtong",
        "link": "https://stackoverflow.com/users/3792482/phongyewtong"
      },
      "is_answered": false,
      "view_count": 2,
      "answer_count": 0,
      "score": 0,
      "last_activity_date": 1652287746,
      "creation_date": 1652287746,
      "question_id": 72204805,
      "content_license": "CC BY-SA 4.0",
      "link": "https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72204805/flutter-doughnut-chart-has-hugh-margin-padding-how-to-remove",
      "title": "flutter doughnut chart has hugh margin/padding. how to remove?"
    }

I understand that there is a way to reach this result (I confess that I'm not completely and absolutely sure about that) by taking the value of "creation_date" and seeing if it is equal to "last_activity_date", but to speed up the work of a code, if we had this value already in the API response, it would be perfect.

I think it would be interesting if we had:

"is_edited": false

or

"is_edited": true

Please, if can confirm if "creation_date" == "last_activity_date" gets the same result, that would be an important answer too!
